Rom 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
One of the most false statements to be made is that Christ did not die for the sin of unbelief.
First of all there is not one scripture that makes that claim, nor even closely implies it, so that in and of itself should serve as a red flag ! Now someone may say that the bible does not say that Christ died for the sin of unbelief ! It does not have to first of all because it Illustrates it by the conversion experience of the once persecuting saul, being changed into Paul . Paul attributed his animosity and hatred towards Christ and His Church because of the sin of unbelief 1 Tim 1:12-13
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
And later in Vs 15 He writes that Christ came into the world to save sinners, of which He was chief.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
One of his sins that he acknowledges in Vs 13 is unbelief !
Also, the scripture says of those He died for that He died for their sins 1 Cor 15:3
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sinsaccording to the scriptures;
That word sin hamartia means:
a) to be without a share in
b) to miss the mark
c) to err, be mistaken
d) to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour, to do or go wrong
e) to wander from the law of God, violate God's law, sin
2) that which is done wrong, sin, an offence, a violation of the divine law in thought or in act
3) collectively, the complex or aggregate of sins committed either by a single person or by many
It says He was delivered for their offences Rom 4:25
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
That word offences paraptōma:
to fall beside or near something
2) a lapse or deviation from truth and uprightness
a) a sin, misdeed
In the beginning Adam was made upright Ecc 7:29
He died for their transgressions and iniquities Isa 53:5
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Transgressions pesha` :
transgression, rebellion
a) transgression (against individuals)
b) transgression (nation against nation)
c) transgression (against God)
Their iniquities :
perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity
And unbelief is in all of the above, who are we to exclude what sin Christ did or did not die for.
Where does it say that Christ died for specifically for any sin such as Rev 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, andsorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
As you see unbelieving is listed with a number of other sins. Are we to suppose Christ did not die for those sins also since unbelieving is mentioned with them ?
